That's one barrier. I think a larger one is still our continuing failure to fully appreciate that virtually all mental disorders start in childhood. When they first start, they may appear milder. They aren't going to appear the way they would for a 40-year old, for example. So they're a little harder to detect, but we don't ask kids. We could. And right now, if we do ask kids and find out there are problems, it can be very difficult for them to get service, because again, fewer than half the kids with disorders can get services. You can ask someone and then you can't get them help.
